Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

These healings are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over 125 years.

Understanding Mary Baker Eddy’s place brings healing

I would like to share a healing I experienced about ten years ago. I don’t know what the problem was, but one day my body seemed to shut down.

Healing of anemia during pregnancy

When I was expecting our first child, I chose a kind and respectful obstetrician who was happy to work with patients who practiced Christian Science, and I had a harmonious birth experience.   By the time our second child was on the way, my husband and I had moved to another city, so I chose a midwife whom a friend recommended.

Uplifted outlook and renewed eyesight

The joy I was experiencing could not be contained! It was springtime, and my husband and I were driving through the countryside. I had enjoyed the area’s scenery before, but now, it was as though I were seeing it for the first time.

Severe illness overcome, purpose renewed

This passage from Psalms came to me when I reached out to God at a time when I wasn’t sure if I would live: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord” ( 118:17 ). It was the summer of 2005, and I was losing the ability to grasp objects and experiencing trouble walking.

Standing up straight

The author experienced healing as she recognized her identity as the perfect and unchanging daughter of God.

Horse’s eye healed

Some years ago , our family decided to purchase an older horse so my husband at the time (not my current husband) could join the children and me on rides. The owner planned to bring him to us on a Saturday, but when Saturday morning came around, he called to let us know that the horse had a serious eye infection.

Immediate freedom from illness

According to the Bible , health comes from God. In Psalms 42:11 we read, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Protected on the road

Early in my teaching career, I decided to take some time off from teaching in order to pursue an MBA degree full time. I enrolled in an excellent program in a different state that would require an 100-mile round trip by car to attend classes that met in the late afternoon until night.

Protected from assault

This author prayed when she felt fear creep in one night. Her prayers defused a scary situation.

Fear of public speaking overcome

Many years ago , I was asked to take on the duties of Second Reader at my Christian Science Society, but for as long as I could remember any activity that required speaking in public had been fraught with anxiety for me. Even as a child, something as simple as talking to a store clerk or responding to a teacher’s question had been difficult.
